Novel Anthropometric Indices as Screening Tools for Obesity: A Study on Healthy Iranians
CONCLUSION: In this study, we revealed that NC had the lowest and NHtR and HC had the highest predictive value for obesity. Furthermore, for both males and females with obesity, NHtR had the highest sensitivity. HC had the highest PLR for obesity in both genders. Our results warrant prospective studies to evaluate the role of NHtR and other novel anthropometric indices in the risk of cardiometabolic diseases.PMID:37822568 | PMC:PMC10564568 | DOI:10.1155/2023/6612411
